Bishop E.W. Jackson appeared on Fox News and demanded African Americans not to vote for Democrats, which would include President Obama. It is difficult to determine the number of African Americans who will follow Bishop Jackson's demand, or if any African American will pay any attention to the Bishop.
It is confounding that any Black leader, ordained or self styled should have the gall to make an appeal to African Americans to act against their own best interest on the grounds of baseless morality. How dare this Bishop equate abortion and gay marriage issues with voting that would have profound consequences on the future of this country and for Blacks in particular. This is an example of where religion has gone mad.
Bishop Jackson's priority is so far off, it's pathetic. The Bishop is worried about abortion and gay marriage while blacks have the highest unemployment rate; high incidents of crime and incarceration, high incidents of school dropouts, high incidents of disfunctional families, dilapidated neighbourhoods, high incidents of murder, and community decay. If religon was any good, how come Blacks have it so bad? Bishop Jackson and others like him should crawl into a hole and not disturb the balance of sanity in this critical moment. Blacks should rid themselves of these dupes.
